Following on from my ramblings about our family’s environmental impact and our attempts at self sufficiency I thought you might like to see these photographs. First off, this is the first broccoli that we’ve harvested from our garden. We ate it in a vegetable lasange and it was amazing!

And these are my girls in their cloth nappies. We ran out of disposables last week and I realised that I had 20 bajillion* nappies that could be pressed into service, so I popped them back into cloth and remembered just how easy it is to deal with them when you’re in the house. My only criticism of cloth nappies has been how awkward they are to carry when I’m out and have more than one child because I have to lug the dirty ones around with me but when I’m at home there’s really no excuse.
